WSJ Report: Sheldon Adelson Influenced New Wire Act OpinionThere are different types of surprises in this world. I haven’t noticed anyone giving much of a shit about online poker or online gambling on Capitol Hill for years. When online gambling began to get popular, the Justice Department interpreted the Wire Act as applying to all online gambling, not just sports betting. And how we have this new OLC opinion which goes back to the old interpretation that the Wire Act bans all online gambling. Whether or not it will actually mean anything to the future of online gambling in the United States remains to be seen.
